The idea is that once immigrant children learn the language of their parents, it will become easier for them to learn Swedish later.

This is just wrong. Many linguists who work on child language acquisition will tell you that children have more capacity to learn language than adults do. They can learn 2-3 languages at the same time. So, there's no need to learn Arabic first, then Swedish.

You are wrong, and what you are saying is hate speech. You will be required to take a course on multicultural tolerance before your employer will allow you back at work. Also, it has been noted in your records that you should be turned down if you request an instant check to buy a firearm.
